Pretty bad. It was more coherent than The Singles Ward, but it was even less funny. Kirby Heyborne did okay, but most of the other acting stank, and seeing some of the actors do well in other films, I assume it is the director's fault. The writers created some interesting opportunities for satire, but it almost always played out as mildly amusing at best. The only time I really laughed was during the home teaching segment. There was a great shot of Heyborne giving a short lesson to a reluctant target through the mail slot, while dropping oatmeal cookies through. But that was it. The courtroom scene at the end was especially bad, the DA was doing a terrible, embarrassing imitation of Jim Carrey. Overall, it was just a dull film.
